Clinical Congress 2025 Is Weeks Away—Register Today

Clinical Congress 2025, one of the largest surgical education events of the year, is less than a month away, and the time to register for the October 4–7 event in Chicago, Illinois, is now.

It is the first time in a decade that Clinical Congress will be held in the “Windy City,” and the ACS has further enhanced the program to offer high-impact sessions across all surgical disciplines, practice settings, and career stages.

Thematic sessions this year will focus on endocrine, hernia, trauma/orthopaedics, artificial intelligence, and surgical education, while multidisciplinary sessions will explore limb salvage, adolescent bariatric surgery, thyroid disorders, and acute mesenteric ischemia. 

As you plan your travel to Chicago, please note that you are invited to the new Saturday evening Windy City Welcome Reception for all Clinical Congress attendees. Sunday morning will feature the Opening Ceremony and begin the first of eight Named Lectures, more than 100 Panel sessions, 75 Scientific Forum Sessions, 45 Meet-the-Expert Sessions, 24 Video-Based Education Sessions, four Great Debate Sessions, and much more.

By attending the in-person meeting, you have access to approximately 200 CME credits through onsite learning and on-demand sessions that are included with registration. Additionally, specific sessions are available for self-assessment credit, while others address specific regulatory mandates for state licensure and ACS accreditation/verification programs.
